Teaching Statement

My goal is create a learner-centered classroom environment where knowledge is constantly evolving. I believe students bring a wealth of experience to the classroom and are teachers too. Together, utilizing critical thinking skills, my aim is to develop a dynamic classroom context; sharing, challenging, exploring and creating knowledge.

I bring 35 years of management experience to the classroom. I try to help students see the link between the classroom and the “real world” so they are better equipped to undertake the challenges they will face when they leave Franklin Pierce.
